I hated it on my BB King and D-41. Supposed to look fancy, but when it tarnishes it looks like junk. Edited August 8, 2023 by Sgt.

Supposed to look fancy, but when it tarnishes it looks like junk. Yeah, that's been my experience with it. I had a 1996 Gibson Les Paul Studio in Ebony, with all the gold bits. The gold didn't age well, and a few years of living on the North Shore of Oahu certainly didn't help. Funny, when I sold it locally back in 2012, the fellow who bought it off of me LOVED the aged patina of the gold parts. "Makes it look like a real veteran of bars and clubs," he said happily. "Yeah, it's been in one or two bars and clubs," I admitted.😐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
